Prolonged, moderate-intensity work that uses up oxygen at or below the level at which your cardiorespiratory (heart-lung) system can replenish oxy-gen in the working muscles. Aerobic literally means with oxygen, and it is the only type of exercise which burns body fat to meet its energy needs. Bodybuilders engage in aerobic workouts to develop additional cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as to burn off excess body fat to achieve peak contest muscularity. Common aerobic activities in-clude running, cycling, swimming, dancing, and walk-ing. Depending on how vigorously you play them, most racquet sports can also be aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercise raises your body's heart rate above a prescribed level such that you consume more oxygen.
light and repetitive exercise done over a prolonged period of time, such that you will be using the same amount of oxygen and energy that your body can furnish to your muscles.
Exercise with a low enough intensity to facilitate adequate oxygen transfer to the muscle cells so that no buildup of lactic acid is observed. This type of exercise is useful for reducing insulin levels and lowering blood glucose.

Any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously, and is rhythmic in nature ( American College of Sports Medicine). Exercise that increases the need for oxygen. The term aerobic means “with oxygenâ€.
A method of conditioning the cardiorespiratory system by performing an activity that uses large muscle groups, is rhythmic, elevates the heart rate for a period of time, and increases the intake of oxygen.
Brisk exercise which promotes circulation of oxygen through the blood.
Long-term, moderate-intensity exercise (i.e., jogging, cycling, rowing, cross-country skiing) that uses oxygen, carbohydrates, and fat for energy.
Physical activity, such as walking, running, swimming, or dance, that employs the large muscle groups of the body and boosts the heart rate.
Exercises that cause a temporary increase in respiration and heart rate in order to condition your heart and lungs. Running, walking and swimming are considered aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercises generally burn fat.
Constant moderate intensity work that uses up oxygen at a rate in which the cardio respiratory system can replenish oxygen in the working muscles. Examples of such activity are stationary bike riding or walking. It is a good activity for fat loss when done in the right amounts but highly catabolic if done in excess.
Any physical exercise that makes the heart and lungs work harder to meet the muscles' need for oxygen; examples include cycling, swimming, running, and vigorous walking; use large muscle groups like arms and legs.

activities performed so as to cause marked temporary increase in respiration and heart rate.
Physical activity that requires oxygen and nutrient utilization by muscles. Such endurance type exercises sustain on going oxidative phosphorylation and in the exercising muscles and depends on delivery of adequate oxygen and nutrient supplies via the circulation.
is any continuous activity of large muscle groups that forces your heart and lungs to work harder. Aerobic means your heart and lungs are using oxygen. Examples include walking, swimming, stair climbing, and jumping rope.
A type of physical activity that includes walking, jogging, running, and dancing. Aerobic training improves the efficiency of the aerobic energy-producing systems that can improve cardiorespiratory endurance.
Exercise fitness low-intensity, sustained activity that relies on oxygen for energy. Aerobic activity builds endurance, burns fat and conditions the cardiovascular system. To attain an aerobic effect for exercise fitness, you must increase your heart rate to 60-80 percent of your maximum heart rate, and maintain that for at least 20 minutes. Examples of aerobic exercise include running, brisk walking, bicycling, swimming and aerobic dance.
Physical activity that uses oxygen. Also known as endurance activity. Examples include running, cycling, and swimming.
Exercise utilizing oxygen and body fats as the main energy source. Endurance in nature and usually at submaximal levels.
Exercise that conditions the heart and lungs to use oxygen to more efficiently—thus supplying the entire body with larger amounts of oxygen-rich blood—and to build stronger muscles. Examples of aerobic activities include walking, swimming, low-impact aerobic dance, skiing, and biking.
a type of physical exercise that increases the work of the heart and lungs. Examples are running, jogging, swimming, dancing.
Exercise that requires continuous, rhythmic motion of large muscle groups such as the quadriceps. Swimming, running, and walking are examples of aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise also improves the ability to perform activities of daily living.
a type of exercise (e.g., running, swimming) that makes the heart and lungs work harder to supply the muscles with more oxygen.
Aerobic exercise burns fat, gets your heart rate going (you will be able to feel it beating faster) and makes your heart muscle stronger. It also increases the number of blood cells you have, which helps your blood carry more needed oxygen to blood vessels throughout your body.
is any kind of brisk physical activity (swimming, cycling, etc.) that requires the heart and lungs to work harder in order to meet the muscles' increased demand for oxygen. As the body becomes fitter from an aerobic standpoint, it becomes more efficient at delivering nutrients to tissue, including injured tissue. Therefore, an aerobically fit person will recover from an injury more quickly. To improve aerobic fitness, it is necessary to exercise aerobically three times a week (for at least 15 minutes per session). To maintain aerobic fitness, twice a week is the minimum. (See Remedial Exercise)
Aerobic exercise refers to the kind of fast-paced activity that makes you "huff and puff." It places demands on your cardiovascular apparatus and, over time, produces beneficial changes in your respiratory and circulatory systems.
Any physical activity that increases the heart beat and allows the body to replenish oxygen to working muscles continuously. This can be any endurance exercise such as bike riding, running or walking and is best performed at low to moderate intensity. Aerobic exercise burns fat and uses glycogen for fuel.
Exercise occurring in the presence of molecular oxygen in the muscle.
Aerobic exercise refers sustained exercise that uses large muscle groups and places demands on the cardiovascular system.
An activity where you breathe harder but don't gasp or feel breathless. Literally, "with oxygen."
"exercise with oxygen" is exercise done at a rate that allows the oxygen that you breath to produce the energy needed. Aerobic exercise is the preferred way to burn calories and strengthen your heart and lungs
Activity in which the body is able to supply adequate oxygen to the working muscles, for a period of time. Running, cross-country skiing and cycling are examples of aerobic activities.
a term to describe physical activity that uses large muscle groups in a continuous and rhythmic manner.

Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, biking, jogging, swimming, aerobic classes and cross-country skiing. Aloe. Herbal product derived from the aloe plant, it is often added to herbal weight loss products. However, it has not been shown to effectively promote permanent weight loss. Different parts of the aloe plant may be used. Aloe gel may lower blood glucose and keep other medications from being properly absorbed. Aloe leaf lining has more side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, lowering of serum potassium and laxative effects that could be dangerous to individuals not in good health.
Exercise that requires a sustained supply of oxygen, and which burns fat and glycogen for fuel. Aerobic exercise helps to strengthen cardiac muscle, increase respiratory capacity and improve circulation.
Exercise that uses up oxygen in the blood by working large muscle groups and increasing the heart rate; endurance-building exercise.
Any physical exercise demanding additional effort from the heart and lungs to deliver a continuous amount of oxygen to the skeletal muscles. This exercise generally requires heavier breathing than passive muscular activity and results in increased heart and lung efficiency with a minimum of wasted energy. Examples of aerobic exercises include running, jogging, swimming and vigorous dancing or cycling.
Aerobic exercise is any sort of movement that makes your muscles use oxygen. Examples include running, biking, jumping, swimming, etc... Aerobic exercise is essential for conditioning the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system.
